Koursaros Apartments

This place has a Greek rustic charm, its budget and yes the rooms are basic, but they have all you need. The reviews saying avoid are simply people who expected 5 star when this is clearly a basic accomodation. The hotel staff are fab, the bar is brill and the hotel has a lovely clean pool, pool table and resident kittys! If you love greece and want a chilled holiday, book this place. If you want high standards and entertainment then dont! Simples!

Just back from a week at Koursaros apartments. On arrival we paid our room tax and we were asked if we wanted to pay for air con and the weekly BBQ night, we decided to wait and see if needed/wanted to do….there was no pressure. The rooms are very basic but they are only really for sleeping in, they would however benefit from being painted white rather than the dingy beige they currently are as they are quite dark inside even with lights on in the day. The cleaners came in twice and changed beds and towels in a week. The apartments are less than 5 minutes walk to the start of the strip, you can hear music from there at night but it’s not awful. Sidari is not somewhere I would return to as there are prettier places to visit in Corfu. Trips are reasonable in price,Corfu town is a must as it is so pretty and lovely old cobblestone streets. There are plenty of lovely places to eat, we only had 1 bad meal in the week and that was from a British run restaurant in sidari Mosquitoes are a complete nightmare as are wasps,I have never had as many bites as in Sidari and I used repellant

Just returned from a 2 week holiday for the first time in Greece. We didn't know what to expect after reading other reviews but it was perfect for what we wanted. The room was basic but more than enough space. Very clean cleaners changed beds and towels every other day. Pool was lovely bar area lovely and staff all very friendly and accommodating. Kostas the manager did his up most to sort us out with a ground floor room due to us having a wheelchair and tui messing up. Overall a brilliant time and can't wait to return

rooms are ok ...kept fresh and clean with regular towel and sheet change...pool area big enough with plenty of beds....the shower is a joke and the cat sh%% all over the grass was scandalous...all staff were friendly apart from the owner who was just miserable all the time... would l go back ?...no thanks

We arrived at the complex, a lady grunted and pointed round to the other side of the pool bar. Once round there we noticed this was the reception area. After around 10 mins a man came to check us in. I assume this was Mr Koursaros, but he never gave us his name so I have no idea. Paid for the air con - €8 a night, the room tax €1.50 per night, the safety deposit box €10 for the fortnight and then €36 which I didn’t notice he had added in until we got into the room and looked at the adding up he had done. When I asked him what that charge was for - the bbq on Weds for 2 people. I didn’t want to go to the bbq on Weds but it seems it’s compulsory!! No refunds once booked on! The rooms are very small, not much room to move around. 2 single beds, both very creaky, suspect they won’t last much longer but I was surprisingly comfy. Only one pillow but it is very well stuffed so only one needed. Not enough storage for clothes etc, single wardrobe with 2 small drawers under and then a dressing table with one drawer under, have had to use the table and 2 stools to put clothes on so we could unpack our cases. Bathroom is tiny, water pressure in shower is ok but the sink isn’t great. Shower curtain spends most of the shower stuck to you which is so annoying! Toilet lid is taped up for some strange reason. We had a small terrace outside, with 2 washing lines, 2 chairs and a table. Lots of cats living around the hotel which is fine by me, I love cats, although I didn’t really want the present of a headless lizard that one left on our terrace!! Wi-Fi only works in the pool bar so make sure you have lots of data. Pool is very small, looks like soup - sort of a murky colour, definitely needs cleaning. We didn’t see it cleaned in the whole time we were there. Pool bar can be quite loud on bbq night or even worse karaoke night (my poor ears!) or whenever the bar is busy, music until late on. Thankfully the air con drowns the noise out. Mr Koursaros doesn’t like it when you don’t use the pool bar as that’s where the money is made. So expect glares, muttering and just him being miserable when he sees you - you get used to it! Tbh only the cleaner actually replied when we said morning, the rest of the staff ignored us the whole time, prob as we weren’t spending money with them. Bedding and towels only changed twice in the time we were there. The sheet I had on the bed was very starched, every time I moved it crinkled like a crisp packet - became a running joke by the end of the holiday. Location wise it’s not bad, about 10 min walk to middle of strip. Although in the heatwave we experienced it was more like a crawl than a walk!! Also a large supermarket around the corner. Would u stay here again? Definitely not!! I’m not brave enough or daft enough!

Arrived a couple of days ago and would recommend these apartments! Good quiet location, about 2 minutes walk from the supermarket and main road. Apartment is charming, not a new build but well decorated and spotlessly clean. Decent kitchenette with full sized fridge, hot plate, microwave, kettle, pots, pans, crockery etc. Small bathroom but well maintained and perfect for us. Kostas the manager is really nice and found him to be chilled out when we were paying the tourist tax, a very pleasant man. The staff are great, Nina, Voulla, Maria and the young lad who does the jobs around the complex. Lovely clean pool, perfect temperature. Lovely bar and cafe, we’ve eaten there a lot already and everything is delicious and pretty well priced. Sunbeds are plentiful and there’s none of that silly towels on sunbeds at dawn nonsense! I would recommend staying here and I will stay again!
